Abstract
Lung infections represent a significant global health challenge, encompassing a variety of respiratory diseases that impact millions annually. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of major lung infections, including pneumonia, bronchitis, and tuberculosis. We explore the role of pathogens-such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi-in the onset and progression of these diseases. Additionally, we examine risk factors, including environmental influences, underlying health conditions, and socioeconomic determinants, which contribute to the burden of respiratory infections. Recent advancements in diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities are discussed, highlighting the importance of early intervention and preventive strategies. By integrating epidemiological data and clinical insights, this overview aims to enhance understanding of lung infections, ultimately informing better management practices and public health initiatives.
